MartyGrass Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 +1 Yeah. One of the fingers is shorter than it should be. You can almost always find something interesting on a Heritage. The tailpieces were made in Germany by ABM. Since then they quit making black. It surprised me that no one ever noticed that quirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressure Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It looks like the A, D and G are longer than they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58super Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm glad you met it in person. I dealt with Fred primarily but Glenn and two ladies as well. They were all very courteous and straightforward. If I remember correctly the fellow that owned it previously was a physician. They are nice folks in that store. Glenn is very good jazz player. He told me his favourite amp to play through is a tweed deluxe. Before he sold out to Long and McQuade there used to be a collection of Fender amps in the store that included pretty much every tweed and blackface model.

High Flying Bird Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It looks like the A, D and G are longer than they should be. No, the B is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsoloway Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Damon that auto correct. Should be "tailpiece". I actually like it better as "Tailpipe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanschoyck Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 They put the tuners on straight! Did I win? Congratulations H! That's what I'd be saying right now it you had won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LK155 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I see only one strap pin. Where's the other end of the strap attach? (this probably qualifies as dumbest question of the day.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I see only one strap pin. Where's the other end of the strap attach? (this probably qualifies as dumbest question of the day.....) Here's how it's done by the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbright Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That position interferes with bending the entire neck for vibratto effects. Have tried it on acoustics...dreadaughts and 000's but never could get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried it on acoustics...dreadaughts and 000's but never could get used to it. I tried a headstock strap and didn't like it for a few reasons. So I'll do what I usually do- get a drill, a screwdriver and a bar of soap. No, it's nothing kinky. I'll put a hole in the guitar, lube up a strap button screw with soap, and fasten the button to the guitar. A lot of folks play without a strap. Not me.

MartyGrass Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 that's fifth alert...stewmacs position #5 That's funny. I tend to put the strap button in the heel or just below it. Since most of my guitars I get used, I don't often get a chance to choose. So I have used all five positions, and they all work. Kind of a Kama Sutra of guitar screwing I guess.

peterbright Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I need one on my Eagle Classic and usually prefer #5 myself Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbright Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Lubed and screwed the Eagle Classic in position # 5 and is she easier to play with a strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
